Shabby Rabbit

It's been gorgeous today. Sunny and in the 70s. Love it!I finally decided I couldn't stand the poinsettias any longer, and even though they still looked good, I threw 'em out.Hubby felt sorry for them and rescued (his word) them to decorate the shed. What-eva! At least I don't have to look at them any more.

I'm so ready for Spring, and all the stores are showing Easter things.Monday, when I was at Marshall's, I found a cute rustic shabby rabbit, all by himself, with no price tag, and no more like him...don't you just hate it when that happens? I stood in line waiting for a manager to find a price, and when she finally came back, and said, "$4.99"... I said, "yes!!!," and brought him home.

He has a little bit of a dry brushed finish to give him that shabby rabbit look.

He's so cute... he just makes me smile. I wish I could have found a larger one to go with him. I checked again today at Marshall's, and also at Home Goods. No luck.

Babs,Adorable! I love, love, love your shabby rabbit! He does appear a bit lonely...keep looking, perhaps his mate is hiding in another store! Had to laugh about the poinsettas! Mine, I do believe mine are re~blooming! I can't bring myself to cast them out...guess they'll be here "'til the cows come home"! Ha!Fondly,Pat

Love the little bunny. I am so ready for Spring and Easter is my favorite time of year to celebrate and decorate. I see lots of bunnies popping up in blogland. Very exciting. Lovely post today. Deb=^..^=x4

He's so cute. That was a lucky find! I stopped buying poinsettias years ago when I learned they are poisonous to animals. I haven't had to throw out anymore since. They always live too long for my taste too. Too bad that live Christmas trees and greenery don't though.

Sometimes I just want to take Marshalls and TJ Maxx and smack them 'til they rattle!!!! WHY do they have such limited quantities in their stores?!?!?!?!! It's maddening!!!!! I was in TJ Maxx and Marshalls the other day and noticed that the variety of dishes available has really decreased. Not just the quantity which has always been a problem, but the actual VARIETY from which to choose. In TJ Maxx, they had NO MORE open stock stemware, either!!! It was all just the stuff in boxes!! What the heck is going on?!??!?!?!?!! I'm a little highstrung this morning. I'd better go have a bowl of Cream of Wheat to calm down! I hope you're able to find the bunny's big brother. Have a great weekend!!! :-)

Check at TJMaxx! They carry the same things. I hope you fins his mate:):) I just bought 2 bunnie too: one at Home Goods and one at TJ. They are Mr. and Mrs. Love them. I eat cereal every single day. I need to change things up alittle:):) XO, Pinky

Oh my gosh I love your lettuce (or cabbage?) dishes. I have a few serving pieces I have picked up at TJ Maxx but that's it. I think the bowls are wonderful and the bunny is pretty cute too. Have a good one!

Love your little bunny--sometimes one of a kind is even more special. But I'm going to make a trip to HGs to see if any of his relatives hopped up here. And you are so funny about the poinsettia. I am trying to toss mine too, but I can't when they are still blooming so well. LInda

What an adorable guny! I love your combination of plates and their textures!They look so inviting with the sun shining on them. The daffodils in the basket with the napkins and plate laid in there is a lovely touch!

He's perfect. I would have snatched him up, too. I'm as surprised as you are that he isn't part of a set.

And I feel the exact same way about my poinsettia that wouldn't die. I finally exiled it to the corner of the deck and refuse to look there. Funny, I normally kill things without any effort. I've never seen anything as resilient as my poinsettias this year.
